Blu-ray Verdict: 'The US Festival: 1982 The US Generation' is from award-winning filmmaker and rockumentarian, Glenn Aveni. Also serving as the films director, this magnificent flashback in time - co-Directed by Jay Cederholm and produced by Bruce Gibb and Rich Schmig - blends rare concert footage and insightful interviews with both organizer chit-chat and glorious early-'80s performances.

At its heart though, the film tells the story of the groundbreaking 1982 Us Festival - an epic three-day event featuring an eclectic and unprecedented lineup boasting some of the biggest names in music.

All performing live in front of over one million people at Glen Helen Regional Park in San Bernardino, CA, The Us Festival was the brainchild of Apple visionary Steve Wozniak, who wanted to create something that was a true celebration of Americana.

Cultivating positive vibes and building a deep sense of community through the power of technology and music, highlights include performances by chart-topping superstars, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, alt-rock trio The Police, blues rock heroes Fleetwood Mac, guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana, retro-chic favorites The B-52s, and new wave icons The Cars.
